Friends My words "ruling class Ahom nationals" have been hijacked!
Also, equivalent English word is "bitch" for that Kamrupi word that some Ahom Nationals use. Why use a Kamrupi word with English phrase such as "upper Assam". I suggest use English also use "Ahom land" instead of "upper Assam". e.g. Uniting "upper Assam" with "land of bitches", or "uniting Ahom land" with "land of bitches". Some nests of bitches in "land of bitches" have been washed away, some under water (see Kurichhu Hydroelectric MoU signed by Ahom nationals http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3854 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/3854> Ruling class Ahom nationals: The entire land mass that was known as Ahom kingdom, now probably upper Assam - a Ahom national, therefore, is one who was born in that land mass or connected to it. In present Assam a big percent of government machinery, i.e., government officers, government contractors, police officers, including leaders are Ahom nationals, some examples: Khilinziya Mushalman Ahom Sanjib Rahman Barua (Metmara dam chief contractor) Khilinziya Tribal Ahom (Bharat Narah 2nd highest authority to approve Metmara project) Khilinziya Hinduman Ahom (Tarun Gogoi highest authority to approve Metmara project) Khilinziya Hinduman Ahom (Pradyut Bardaloi 2nd highest authority in Assam to sign MoU on Kurichhu) Khilinziya Hinduman Ahom (Tarun Gogoi highest authority in Assam to sign MoU on Kurichhu) Khilinziya Hinduman Dravidian Ahom (Prafulla Mahanta former Chief minister of Assam) and so no ... I think the taxonomy I use representing Ahom is pretty clear and nit. I am not pointing my finger to any community. I am not using Thai or Tai in my taxonomy, sorry about it! [Actually I do not believe there were any immigration from Thailand to yester year Northeast India - if there were an immigration track the immigration would have continued. Probably some cleaver tribal men went for a picnic to Patkai Hills and came up with the idea of "operation khundlu" that created Sukaphaa and went back to villages to tell the fancy tale how they got the king.] Rabin friends, thought this speech of Sarah Palin might be of interests (she fights corruptions and gotten rid of expensive item used by Governor) (ruling class Ahom nationals seems to be brutally corrupt out there in Assan) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/4458 <%20http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/4458>
